More wars perhaps ? And probably the loss of a nature reserve in  
alaska they have been fighting to save.

Is this article saying that we have ages until peak oil assuming they  
can setup more refineries before the current one hits / has hit. Why  
doesn't it just stop now. It's amazing, our footprint has gone from  
nearly flatline over tens of thousands or years to a huge knee curve  
spike in 100 years and millions of years of stored carbon released in  
that time too.
